Miss McIntosh: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what discussions he has had with National Grid Transco on the health effects of electricity pylons; [196751] (2) if he will make a statement on the health effects of overhead electricity lines and pylons, with particular reference to children's health. [196752] Miss Melanie Johnson: Recent advice on high voltage power lines and children's health comes from the National Radiological Protection Board's publication, "Review of the Scientific Evidence for Limiting Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields", produced in support of its advice issued in March 2004 (Documents of the NRPB Vol. 15 No. 2 2004). In addition to recommending the adoption of harmonised international guidelines, the advice noted that, at levels below the guidelines: "association between prolonged exposure to intense power frequency magnetic fields and a small raised risk of childhood leukaemia has, however, been found, the scientific reasons for which are presently uncertain. In the light of these findings and the requirement for additional research, the need for precautionary measures should be considered by government." The Department and National Grid Transco have instigated a programme of stakeholder discussions in order to develop appropriate practical policies. The possible application of precautionary measures are currently being considered by departmental officials in association with a large number of stakeholders, including other Government Departments, the devolved Administrations, the electricity supply industry, the electricity supply regulators and a number of non-governmental organisations and public concern groups.

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will make a statement on the roll-out of the Transco model; and which other industries are training prisoners with a view to employing them on release; [164349] (2) what the benefits to the Prison Service from the roll-out of the Transco model are. [164350] Paul Goggins: The training provided by National Grid Transco is linked to job vacancies in the gas industry. The project is a good example of how employers and the Prison Service are able to collaborate to meet some of the staffing needs of business, while at the same time contributing to reduced re-offending by released prisoners. National Grid Transco, with its main contractors, is training prisoners for employment as Gas Network Operatives. The programme is currently operating at Reading Young Offender Institution and Wymott prison. Prisoners from Rochester and Glen Parva Young Offender Institutions are being transferred to Reading to participate in the training. By the end of 2003, 27 prisoners had completed National Vocational Qualifications to qualify as Gas Network Operatives. All 27 were offered jobs with National Grid Transco or one of its contractors and 24 are still in employment. Three have since re-offended and have returned to prison. National Grid Transco is planning to expand the project to include a number of other establishments. They aim to train and assist into employment up to 250 prisoners a year from 2006. National Grid Transco is also encouraging other companies in the electricity, water, engineering and logistics sectors to adopt the same approach in working with the Prison Service. Other industries involved in training prisoners with a view to employing them on release include construction, catering, car mechanics, sport and leisure, and transport.
